conservation tip of the month

April 2010

Pollution Hotline

Between housecleaning, yard work, and those April showers, spring can wash all kinds of things, including pollution, right down the drain.  Rainwater is the only thing that should wash down our storm drains.  Anything else—grass clippings, leaves, motor oil, even fertilizer—is considered an ILLICIT DISCHARGE.  When illicit discharges reach our rivers and lakes, they harm the wildlife that lives in those waters—the same waters we enjoy for swimming, fishing, and boating.  If you witness suspicious dumping into storm drains, call our 24-hour Water Pollution Hotline at 1-800-781-5512.
